PVC ceiling light fixtures

When I worked at Duo, our offices got remodeled and we had these black light fixtures installed that looked really simple and nice. You can buy them on Amazon but they cost around $60 per fixture and I need 6 of them for our sump pump room maker space. I decided to try and make my own using PVC pipe.
